i attempted to get around this issue by inserting suggested variable
names for you into the original CSS document...
go to view-source:http://evolt.org/evolt/isaac.css...
body { background : #4F5C38 ; /*
BodyBackgroundColor , BodyBackgroundImage */
font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; /*
BodyTextFace */
font-size : 11px ; /* BodyTextSize
(include units) */
line-height : 130% ; /*
BodyTextLeading (as %) */
[...]
strong.title { font-weight : bold ; /* -- */
font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; /* as
BodyTextFace */
font-size : 15px ; } /* as H3TextSize
(include units) */
pardon the horrible wrap above, but can you see what i was trying
to do? ones that say 'as Foo' should use the value of the variable
defined elsewhere... some are math (like 'as 1/5 H3TextSize
(include units)', which means do the math and gather units, too)...
some don't get changed (the ones that say '--')...
the only caveat is that .jeff didn't like leaving a lot of that stuff
interdependent (so that if the colors changed, the relationship
wouldn't, like the sidebar color matching the notch)... i felt we
should leave them interdependent, but, well, i'm not building the
thing, so...
does that help at all?
